taxes. so you could argue we're already past that tippingpoint. the good news is, survey after survey, poll after poll, still shows that we are a center-right, 70-30 country. 70% of the americans want the american dream. they believe the in the american idea. only 30% want the welfare state. what that tells us at least half of those people currently in that category are there not of their wish or their will. gregg: is this doubling down on the entitlement dependency argument? i know parenthetically our own "fox news poll" found 63% of the americans who indeed agree with the argument that too many folks in america are dependent on the government? >> i think absolutely. i think part of the reason why that tape from paul ryan is not all that surprising is that because of the comments that mitt romney made about the 47%. but whatever, i think that the larger point is that it's not going to be all that shocking because most americans actually agree there is this sort of, we have a problem with en

[cheers] [applause] when the president was running as a candidate four years ago, he looked at the deficits under president bush and found them to be excessive and un-american. they are about as half as large as the one he has put in place over the last four years. he said he was going to cut the deficit in half and he has doubled it. there is no question, but if he were to be reelected, we would see trillion dollar deficits again and again. our national debt is almost the same now as our total economy, gdp. this slows down the economy. it makes it harder for businesses to grow and hire more people and raise wages. unlike the president, when i finally get this job, i will cap the spending i will cut it and i will get us on track to a balanced budget. >> there are other differences as well. the president is planning on obamacare cutting medicare for current retirees by $716 billion. i think that is wrong. i think
